The Austin Forum on Technology & Society

Join us Wednesday, February 15, for a meetup about digital identities and privacy.

Can we simplify how we manage our digital identity and add compensation while enhancing privacy and control of when our data is sold?Join us for the discussion (meetup format) with opening and closing comments from thought leaders, experts, and practitioners. Share ideas, reactions, and recommendations that may help you, your company, or other companies and organizations improve the security and value of digital identities.A﻿fter the discussion at Capital Factory, we invite you to join us <a href="https://www.carolinerestaurant.com/upstairs-at-caroline" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Upstairs at Caroline</a> for networking.<h2>Registration and Attendance Instructions</h2><h3>All participants must register for this event via Eventbrite.

﻿Mike Kiser, Director of Strategy and Standards,<a href="https://www.sailpoint.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> SailPoint</a>Mike Kiser is insecure. He has been this way since birth, despite holding a panoply of industry positions over the past 20 years—from the Office of the CTO to Security Strategist to Security Analyst to Security Architect—that might imply otherwise. In spite of this, he has designed, directed, and advised on large-scale security deployments for a global clientele. He is currently in a long-term relationship with fine haberdashery, is a chronic chronoptimist (look it up), and delights in needlessly convoluted verbiage. He speaks regularly at events such as the European Identity Conference and the RSA Conference, is a member of several standards groups, and has presented privacy-related research at Black Hat and DefCon. He is currently the Director of Strategy and Standards at SailPoint Technologies.
